Total Joint Replacement
|
The Good Samaritan Hospital can help restore you to a higher quality of living through total joint replacement surgery.
Annually, over 500,000
people undergo total joint replacement surgery. Most of the people are
individuals with chronic joint pain from arthritis that interferes with
daily activities, walking, exercise, leisure, recreation and work. The
surgery aims to relieve pain, restore your independence, and allow you
to return to work and other activities.
Total joint replacement
patients typically recover very quickly. Generally, patients are able
to return to driving, dancing and even golfing in weeks. Total joint
replacement can provide immediate relief from joint pain in the knee,
hip or shoulder…and get you back to doing what you love again!
The Good
Samaritan Hospital has implemented a comprehensive planned course of
treatment for total joint replacement. Our team includes physicians,
physicians’ assistants, nurses, technicians, occupational therapists,
and physical therapists specializing in total joint care.

Expert Nurses
At Good Samaritan
Our nurses know what it takes to care for patients
before, during and after a total joint replacement of knees, hips and
other joints. After years working alongside our region’s leading
surgeons, our nurses create a safe operating process for every patient.
It’s one of the reasons that Good Samaritan has one of the lowest
infection rates in the state.
Best of all, the expertise of our
surgical teams create great results – helping our patients to improve
flexibility with little or no pain. Good Samaritan nurses also
recognize when your recovery is moving well and know what to do when
more attention is required. They guide every patient through the
healing process with a focus on safety and on restoring a healthy range
of motion.
Even better, our nurses deliver the comforting care that you
deserve – treating you like a neighbor, not a number.
